OKC’s youth has excelled in the absence of key players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort. While they haven’t put together too many wins, they have managed to stay competitive, and the heavy minutes played in moments like these should pay dividends down the road. Tonight the Thunder hosts the San Antonio Spurs, who are dealing with their own struggles this season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is riding a 3-game win streak after defeating the Trail Blazers in Portland last night, and they have a chance to match their season-long streak of four wins tonight as they take on the Kings in Sacramento. The Kings have had a rough season so far, and similar to the Thunder before the 3-game win streak, Sacramento has lost a lot of games lately.

Tonight, the Thunder continues their long road trip as they take on the Spurs in San Antonio. The Spurs have had their own tough season thus far, struggling their way to a 16-28 record. At this point, they’re just a few games out of a spot for the play-in tournament, and there’s still plenty of season left, but they don’t really have a roster that’s built to compete.

Oklahoma City isn’t winning a lot of games, but they are covering the spread more often than not by a good margin, whereas Dallas is almost split right down the middle. Double digits seems like a lot of ground to cover, even when the Mavs have two wins against the Thunder in OKC by 19 and 9 points. The Thunder is actually slightly better at covering the spread when it’s in the 10-13 point range, so I anticipate a single-digit differential tonight.

The Oklahoma City Thunder snapped their 5-game winning streak in a big way on Thursday night when they dominated the short-handed Brooklyn Nets on the road 130-109. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander popped off for 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists; and Luguentz Dort added 27 points while shooting 6-for-10 from downtown. Tonight the Thunder is back in OKC for the lone home game in a 7-game stretch as they host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Kyrie Irving is back, but he can’t play at home. Kevin Durant and Patty Mills are out for rest. James Harden is playing, but he’s not exactly been healthy this season. All of these are reasons that I think the Thunder will keep this one close, and you never know…they might even get their first win of 2022.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is still searching for a win in 2022 after three straight losses to kick off the new year, and it might not happen for a while based on the upcoming schedule. The Thunder has 9 straight games against teams that are currently at least in position for the play-in tournament if not firmly cemented in a playoff spot, and the tough run begins tonight at home against the Denver Nuggets.

This game should look different in a lot of ways from Wednesday’s matchup, but the outcome will be very similar. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is going to have a better shooting night, Luguentz Dort is back in the starting lineup, and not only do I think OKC covers the spread, but I think they win the game.

Happy New Year, Thunder fans! OKC rang in 2022 with a win on Friday night against the New York Knicks, and now fans get to enjoy 3 of the next 4 games at home before the Thunder head out on the road for 6 of the following 7 on the road. The Thunder is a bit short-handed tonight, but alas, the show must go on as they play host to the Dallas Mavericks.

For just the second time all season, the Oklahoma City Thunder is riding a 3-game win streak after handily defeating the Denver Nuggets at home on Wednesday evening. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded a triple-double for the second time in his career, and the Thunder came away with the 108-94 victory, their largest margin of victory all season long. Despite the win streak, I wouldn’t exactly say hopes are high for another win tonight as the Thunder travels to Phoenix to take on the scorching hot Suns.
